Huskyfan82 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have many of his Super Bowl's and World Series games on tape. He was a great announcer, anything he did was always classic. RIP CurtDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 He will be missed. Not being a New Englander, I will always associate him with the NBC baseball "Game of the Week" and AFC football. It seemed like he was always the guy calling any game the Raiders were involved in when I was a wee lad.

brinkeguthrie Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 the FOX network guys could take a page out of Mr. Gowdys playbook on understated broadcasting. He is a baseball legend and his talents will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sweet trib, Tank.I'm not old enough to have ever seen Gowdy or remember him if I did, but I know enough to recognize his contributions and to know he was a true legend of broadcasting.Thanks and farewell, Cowboy.

spyboy1 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 For several years in the early 90's I had a job where I drove little old ladies around the airport in a golf cart so they could make connecting flights. This lead to several memorable "brushes with fame".One of them came when the Super Bowl was held in Minneapolis and I gave a ride to Curt Gowdy. He wasn't very mobile due to some sort of leg/hip issue. It was an honor for me to have met him and have a few minutes of converstation together. He was a ture class act and a hall of famer to be sure.JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.

CZzyzx41 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have heard very few of Curt Gowdy's broadcasts but I recognized the name, the voice and the face. So many year, so many sports, and such a class act from all accounts I hear. I'll never forget the stories I heard from my father-in-law about his call on Ted Williams' last at bat. Only he, Ted and a few trainers and coaches knew. Then that ball flew over the wall and soon, Curt let everyone in on the significance of that swing. It's a story I'll never get tired of hearing.Some people were made for what they do. His place in history was just where it should be. I listened to Charlie Steiner interviewing Dick Enberg and talking about Mr. Gowdy. What a man. RIP. Hope to hear that voice again somewhere sweeter. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!
